More polar bears







So what is it about bears, polar bears in particular that makes them so "cute".


Polar bears are the only animal alive known to actively hunt humans and yet, I don't know you, but when I see photos I feel like going "Hawwwww!".
They are a power house of muscles and survival instinct, skills and smarts but they look fun, huggable, goofy, soft, handsome.....

How can our instinct not warn us about them? typically as humans we are scared of spiders, snakes and animals like this. But nothing kicks in when we see bears in photos...I am sure in real life they are quite impressive...in fact I know for a fact that grizzlies in the wild are VERY impressive. I wonder if Inuit children are born with an instinctual fear of polar bears?
